Description:
------------
Width formatting of %f values is buggy when the value is zero point something.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
   printf( "[%10.3f]\n", 0.5 );
   printf( "[%10.3f]\n", 1.5 );
?>


Expected result:
----------------
[     0.500]
[     1.500]

That is: same overall width for both is expected.

Actual result:
--------------
[         0.500]
[     1.500]

Note the 4 extra spaces in the first line!

Confirmed that this bug was not in 4.3.6 or 4.3.4 (the only other versions I have handy).

Also, I have it backwards.  The first line (zero.something) is correct, it's the second line of output that is missing 4 spaces.  Previous versions of PHP output both lines with the same spacing as the second line of this example.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Dupe of bug #28633
